Sure, li’l buddy! He’s coming quick, so I’m just going to run over there to take a picture.

At no point was this ever funny. Also spitting is not sexy. Being spit on is not sexy. The satisfying snap of the astroglide lid is the only lubrication sound I want to hear besides a moan.

What?

I hate you. Upvoted.

Me and some old guildies have kept in touch off and on over the years. Every once in a while I’d buy a wow expansion and do a couple of dungeons. We were really looking forward to making Diablo 4 our new hang out.

We played like hell all through the beta. Then like twice in live. Then we all kinda decided it sucked. I think my good friend’s daughter is graduating soon. Or possibly already did. I can’t remember how much older than my own kids she was. I can remember when she was born.

He’s still like a brother to me, but we’ve got fuck all in common any more and we can’t keep talking about glory days that were damn near 20 years ago.

… and stay out.

I see. So the one she was definitely going to lose this time around is still definitely going to be lost, just not by her. That’s sad. I was looking forward to missing her.

Wasn’t that the “much safer” district she switched to after damn near losing her own district in '22?

We are days away from hearing about the onion on his belt.

Stretching a lead is a sports term. Most commonly in racing. Sports metaphors are common in politics.

One of the differences between the right and the left, you just made me realize, is how we treat heroes.

Kyle murders two protestors and he’s a hero. He can fuck it up, but that’s all it takes to get there.

If a left leaning person became a hero for rescuing cats out of a house fire, you’d have a hundred reporters digging up dirt about how he cuts in line at Starbucks, or an ex coworker thought his obsession with cute animal butts was a little creepy.

I’m minimizing. People who do good things sometimes have done real shit but I don’t want to sidetrack. Point is, the right elevates their heroes while the left humanizes them. It’s not just a different playing field, it’s a whole other sport.

Completely agree.

I never buy gas at BP or Exxon. Ever. Smart phone though? That’s required for my job.

It’s great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.

How is life so cheap. Killed himself over $63k. If I was ever going to do something that catching consequences was going to make me kill myself, it would have to be a hell of a lot more money than that. Maybe at 100x I’d take my chances. Maybe. I just don’t understand.

People are so much stupider than I ever thought. And I thought I was a cynic.

Who would do such a thing??

That’s a good boy!

You think he could finish a couch? I think it would eventually fake it, tell him what a good boy he was, and then roll over and let him sleep in the wet spot.

Yeah fuck all that. They can keep their discount.

I don’t think I would agree that just because something is public that it’s a public forum. I feel like the public has to own it as well. I looked it up and maybe it’s because I predate social media by rather a lot, but I think of it in the classical sense:

Public forums are typically categorized into three types:

1. Traditional Public Forums: Long-established spaces like parks or sidewalks, where people have historically exercised their rights to free speech and assembly.
2. Designated Public Forums: Areas that the government intentionally opens up for public expression, such as town halls or school meeting rooms.
3. Limited Public Forums: Spaces opened for specific types of discussions or activities but with certain restrictions on the subject matter or participants.

The important factor being public ownership of the forum. I will concede that it has colloquially come to include public social media, but I think it’s important to distinguish that it’s not really the same thing at all as has been discussed through most of our history.

Food for thought. I just think calling them public forums attaches too much importance to a profit seeking endeavor.
